Raising Kanan S4E4: Marvin’s Brutal Lesson For Traymont Stinson

Power Book III: Raising Kanan’s most recent episode sets the tone for a brutal installment. During the first five minutes of Season 4, Episode 4, Marvin Thomas recalls why he is still one of the most feared enforcers in the game.

The scene opens inside a dimly lit hotel room, where Traymont Stinson, a once-trusted associate, finds himself in the worst possible situation. Marvin has found out that he’s been making backdoor moves to bypass Raq and establish his own pipeline to Joaquin Lara, which he was unaware of. Crossing Raq without any consequences is not an option in this world.

Marvin hits Traymont with a devastating punch before he even has a chance to react, knocking him out cold. Marvin’s punishment is only just getting started. Traymont won’t be allowed to leave with a warning; he needs a message. He effortlessly lifts the unconscious man onto a hotel luggage cart and effortlessly moves him out of the hallway, directing him to an elevator. Marvin’s cracking knuckles is the only sound heard during the ride as he prepares for what’s ahead.

Marvin does not waste any time as soon as the elevator doors close. Traymont’s betrayal fuels his anger, which he unleashes with a ruthless barrage of blows. Every strike has a purpose and reinforces the message that loyalty is essential in this industry. Marvin demands information from Traymont during punches, seeking to know the extent of his involvement in the heroin supply. The fear in Traymont’s eyes says it all.

He knows there’s no way out of this one. With this explosive opening sequence, Raising Kanan continues to display its trademark blend of ruthless business and street justice, setting the tone for the rest of the episode. Marvin believes that actions speak louder than words, and this beatdown serves as a reminder that there are rules in this game, and breaking them will result in a penalty.
